Call for Applicants: FOUR Postdoctoral Research Associate Positions (five years, full-time) at the QUT Digital Media Research Centre
by Axel Bruns 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Dear AoIRists, I have just advertised four Postdoctoral Research Associate jobs at the QUT Digital Media Research Centre in Brisbane, Australia (more details at https://bit.ly/laureateteam) These five-year, full-time jobs will be part of the team of my Australian Laureate Fellowship, a major research project that investigates the drivers and dynamics of partisanship and polarisation in online communication. The project will develop new approaches to assessing a number of key dimensions of polarisation: in the journalistic content produced by different news outlets; in the audiences accessing and engaging with such content; in public debates, on social media platforms and elsewhere, about specific current issues; and in the networks of interconnection and interaction on and across social media platforms. (I've posted some more information about the project at https://snurb.info/laureate.) For this research, I'm looking for excellent Postdocs with expertise in one of more of the following research areas: journalism studies, media and communication studies, political science, social media analytics, computational social science, computational discourse analysis, social network analysis, issue mapping. The project takes an internationally comparative perspective, so I'm also explicitly interested in applicants from outside of Australia. (COVID-related travel restrictions should no longer be an issue by the time these jobs commence.) Applications for these positions are now open, and close on 30 January 2022; travel and visa processes permitting, the Postdocs should commence in mid-2022. More information about the application process is at https://bit.ly/laureateteam, where you can also find the full position description for these jobs. Note that applications must include a CV, response to selection criteria, and statement of research interests with respect to the aims of the Laureate project. I would also be very happy to speak to any prospective candidates ahead of their applications, to discuss their suitability for these positions. I'm away on summer holidays in early December, but will respond to any enquiries in the week before Christmas and during January. I would also be extremely grateful if you could pass this on to anyone in your networks who might be interested in these positions (or knows people who would be). Early next year I will also advertise the first four PhD scholarships related to this project, with applications closing in March and the PhD projects commencing in mid-2022. I'll have more details about those PhD opportunities then, but if you know of any prospective PhD students who may be interested in those scholarships please also feel free to direct them to me already. There's a little more information about these at https://snurb.info/laureate, too. Many thanks in advance for your help with this. -- Prof. Axel Bruns a.bruns(a)qut.edu.au - @snurb_dot_info - snurb.info Digital Media Research Centre, Queensland University of Technology http://research.qut.edu.au/dmrc/ http://mappingonlinepublics.net/ Z6-503, Creative Industries Precinct, Kelvin Grove 4059, Australia GPO Box 2434, Brisbane, Qld. 4001, Australia -- CRICOS No.: 00213J ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society https://www.admscentre.org.au/ adms(a)rmit.edu.au @admscentre

Global Media and China_Special Issue: Sovereignty and the Return of Governance for Digital Platforms
by Xiao Han 23 Nov '21

23 Nov '21

Global Media and China Special Issue: Sovereignty and the Return of Governance for Digital Platforms Guest Editors: Terry Flew & Chunmeizi Su, Department of Media and Communications, The University of Sydney Deadlines: —01 July 2022: Abstracts (300-500 words) submitted to: Chunmeizi Su (chunmeizi.su(a)sydney.edu.au <mailto:chunmeizi.su@sydney.edu.au>) —30 September 2022: Full paper submission (7-8,000 words, including references) —Targeted Issue: June 2023 Overview: In an era that has been termed one of post-globalization (Flew, 2018; O’Sullivan, 2019) there is considerable debate around governance of the global Internet. In particular, multistakeholder approaches which seek to bypass nation-state governments in the name of global "netizens" have been critiqued as lacking real regulatory capacity to transform the behaviour of digital platforms towards public interest goals. At the same time, there has been a ‘regulatory turn’ (Schlesinger, 2020) in internet governance, with national governments – as well as the European Union – proposing an array of laws, policies, regulations and co-regulatory codes to address issues that include monopoly power, content regulation, data and privacy, and the uses of AI. In this light we are proposing a special issue of Global Media and China that will address issues relating to digital platform governance and regulation, with regards to nation-states and sovereignty. We are particularly interested in papers which address: The ‘regulatory turn’ towards digital platforms and comparative insights on platform regulation; How digital platforms with an international footprint navigate competing jurisdictional rules and regulations; The rise of “tech nationalism” and the promotion of digital “national champions”; New forms of regulation being developed by national governments and the European Union; The role of quasi-self-regulatory entities developed by companies themselves (e.g. Facebook Oversight Board); Proposals for reform of international internet governance institutions; The relationship between global digital platforms and questions of sovereignty and accountable governance; The impact of COVID-19 on digital platform governance. References Cited: Flew, T. (2018). Post-Globalisation. Javnost - The Public, 25(1–2), 102–109. O’Sullivan, M. (2019). The Levelling: What’s Next After Globalization. New York: Public Affairs.
